By any chance can you eat pizza now? I was wondering if there is any hope that I can later on. I haven't tried it yet. God bless

You will probably want to avoid doughy pizza, but an occassional splurge with a thin crust might be okay. We once in a while will get a Domino's thin crust. Just don't go overboard with the pepperoni and cheese.... have lots of veggies on it.

Thanks for the replies about pizza. I will try the thin crust only.

And there are other ways to satisfy your pizza craving... be creative. My Another pizza idea: DH is trying to lose some weight, too, so he just made himself some "pizza" for lunch. He used a slice of 45 calorie Sara Lee bread, toasted it, put some pizza sauce on it, a few pieces of diced ham, shredded some mozarella cheese on top and stuck it in the oven long enough to melt the cheese. He let me have a little triangle...three bites, and it was very good.

Thanks for that idea! I will have to try it soon! God bless!:D

Hey everyone, checking in for the night. And, the pizza idea sounds good to me too. I have eaten one piece, but it kept getting stuck in my throat. I wasn't taking little enough bites. That seems to be something I do too often. I'm learning to do better though.

And, thanks so much for the prayers. I will let you guys know when I hear something new.

I make mini pizzas w/ whole wheat pita bread. It gets nice and crunchy and is really thin. I haven't tried any since my last fill because I'm nice and tight. Before that though I could eat half of little pizza.

It definitely satisfied my cravings and I've been craving this stuff in the worse possible way lately.

{{hugs}} and prayers for all today

I am forgetting sometimes to take little bites too. But the band remind me real quick. God bless!:rolleyes2:

Thank you to all for your prayers and support. We drove to Coos Bay on Sunday the 27th in a pretty heavy snow storm. The truck slid into the other lane, but God kept his hand over us and we arrived safe and sound. Surgery was on the 28th and I spent the rest of the day sleeping in our motel room. Today the post op esophogram perfect and so was told all was well and could go home. However the snow returned and we decided to spent one more night. So tomorrow we will head out for Roseburg again. I'm ready to go and get busy loosing weight. Please pray, once again, for travel mercies. Thanks so very much.....Joy PS: The discomfort of surgery has been very well controlled by meds and also got medication for nausea to take home. Four dollars @ Walmart!!:frown:

Hey, glad everything went well, joyross. I remember about four years ago we had a convention (work related) in Las Vegas. One of the ladies decided to drive. She and her husband were driving on a long flat road, no cars in site. She said she just got a feeling that God was telling her to be careful. She told her husband. Out of nowhere a car came speeding towards them, crossing over to their side of the road and fortunately, they swerved over, but came back ok. The other car did not. The car that was heading for them ran off the road and the driver was killed. God can do amazing things, and no one gets to know about them. so, Joyross, God will be looking out for His own. Take care.

And, Wombat -- saw your pics the other day on the before and after page -- you really looked good, big change! And, nice to see a face to go with the name.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
